Our guide, Kevin, was well informed and entertaining so it was a pleasure to spend the day with him . We live near St Albans, VT so this tour was a must in our travel plans. We were in awe to be standing in Roman ruins, evidence of the forward thinking of Roman engineers (for example, we don't have radiant flooring though some of our neighbors do). Kevin brought to life the wonder of a farmer plowing his field and finding a Roman ampitheater. That doesn't happen here! There is a wonderful medieval church (we couldn't get enough of the churches),and other high points of the local history he didn't want us to miss.He also recommended lunch in an amazing waffle restaurant. Sadly we did not have enough time to tour the Roman museum - that would have required an overnight , or second trip. well worth the expense of the private tour.

An incredibly exciting and interesting place. The day was also enhanced by the very talented guide Kevin, who had an incredibly good service level and great historical knowledge.
